These pair of houses, located towards the south of Drumcolliher, makes an important contribution the diversity of the town's architectural heritage. The building has retained much of its historic character and form through the retention of key features including its various forms of sash windows and timber battened doors. The inclusion of ocular openings to the porches draw further attention to the doors.
